Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Fear that Spain would try to regain it’s colonies in Latin America, despite their declaration of independence was the motivation behind the issuing of the Monroe Doctrine.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main purpose of the Monroe Doctrine in 1823 was to prevent further British colonization of territories in the Western Hemisphere. James Monroe established this doctrine in a speech to Congress in 1823. At the time of this address, Monroe’s primary concern was the welfare of Latin American countries.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Monroe Doctrine expressed a spirit of solidarity with the newly independent republics of Latin America. These nations in turn recognized their political affinity with the United States by basing their new constitutions, in many instances, on the North American model.
Detailed explanation-4: -The United States invoked the Monroe Doctrine to defend its increasingly imperialistic role in the Americas in the mid-19th century, but it was not until the Spanish-American War in 1898 that the United States declared war against a European power over its interference in the American hemisphere.
Detailed explanation-5: -Why did President Monroe issue the Monroe Doctrine? Monroe issued the Monroe Doctrine because he wanted the US to take action alone, not as Britain’s junior partner. It stated we would not allow European nations to create American colonies or interfere with the free nations of Latin America.
